                  RECOGNITION OF ROSELLA SCHNAKENBERG

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Rosella 
Schnakenberg for her fifty years of service to First Community Bank in 
Ionia. On March 18, 1947, Rosella began working as a teller for the 
First Community Bank, then the Bank of Ionia. At the time she received 
a salary of $75 a month. Today she is Vice President and Facility 
Manager of the Bank and oversees the day-to-day operations.
  Through the years Rosella has watched the economic ups and downs of 
the bank and through it all has made sure that people have received 
quality service and the assistance they need. Watching people start 
businesses, purchase homes and pay for their children's college 
education has allowed her to see first hand the help she has given to 
others.
  In addition to Rosella's faithful service to her work, she is a 
community leader in Cole Camp, Missouri. She has been playing the organ 
at St. John's Lutheran Church in Cole Camp for more than fifty years 
and volunteers much of her free time to visiting nursing homes so that 
residents have company. I wish her continued success and congratulate 
her for fifty years of loyal service.
